As an AI language model, I do not have personal opinions, but here are some common misconceptions that can exist regarding industrial design:

1. Industrial design is just about creating aesthetically pleasing products.

2. Industrial designers only work with physical products.

3. Industrial designers only work on the outward appearance of products.

4. Industrial design is solely about making products that are stylish and trendy, rather than functional.

5. Industrial designers only work on the initial design phase of a product, then hand it off to engineers and manufacturers to take care of the rest.

6. Industrial design is only relevant to the consumer goods industry.

7. Industrial designers are only responsible for creating new products from scratch, rather than improving existing ones.
